Sheriff E.Z Ponder is the sheriff of Ferlin, West Virginia. His only appearance is in Bloody Ferlin, when Ray, Archer, and Cheryl are deceived in to helping Ray's brother, Randy, save Randy's marijuana farm.

E.Z. Ponder was a classmate of Ray who used to pick on him for his effeminate mannerisms. When Randy starts farming marijuana, Ponder tries to peacefully reason with him due to his history with the Gillettes. When Randy refuses to compromise, Ponder is forced to get aggressive, compelling Randy to call on the help of Ray, along with Archer and Cheryl to hold the fort, though this is under the pretense that Ponder wants to capitalise on their marijuana by stealing it.

When Ray finds out about Randy's deception, he surrenders and Ponder makes his peace with him.
